Eastwood Wildlife

Eastwood’s tall trees and riparian corridor along Dixon Branch, and its proximity to White Rock Lake, graces our neighborhood with plentiful wildlife. The woodland mammals such as opossums, raccoons and skunks are joined by foxes and the occasional bobcat and coyote. The large trees attract a variety of owls and other raptors, and many species of songbirds. Amphibians and reptiles reside in moist shady areas and near backyard ponds. Information below can help everyone live in harmony with wildlife.

Coexisting With Urban Wildlife

If you find what appears to be orphaned or abandoned baby wildlife, before disturbing them please check the DFW Wildlife Coalition website or call 972-234-WILD.

If you find an injured animal, please contact 311 to report it. You may be referred to a City of Dallas animal control officer trained in wildlife or to 911 Wildlife, which offers humane animal and wildlife removal, relocation and control services.
